El rey [English translation]

I know well that I'm out

But the day I die

I know you'll have to cry

To cry and cry

To cry and cry

You'll say you didn't love me

But you'll be very sad

And so you will stay

With money and without money

I always do what I want

and my word is the law

I have no throne or queen

Nor anyone to understand me

But I'm still the king

A stone on the road

Taught me that my destiny

was to roll and roll

To roll and roll

To roll and roll

Then a muleteer told me

That you don't have to arrive first

But you have to know how to get there

With money and without money

I always do what I want

And my word is the law

I have no throne or queen

Nor anyone to understand me

But I'm still the king.
